Ten Times Wiser

It's silent outside these walls
There's violence behind these walls
We hear them though they can't call
They hide them but we see them fall

It's silent outside these walls
There's violence behind these walls

Some fear change their customs rule
The sense of taste is a blinded fool
They take life when there's no need
They rape life make slaves to their greed

It's silent outside these walls
There's bloodshed inside their stalls

We left behind our savage ways
More peaceful trails we seek to blaze
A Universe we've yet to find
Respect for LIFE will free our minds

Way back in the Bible
A king chose an adviser
A vegan named Daniel
Was proven ten times wiser

If humans leave the Earth
To explore the Universe
Will they go out there in peace
Or will they eat creatures they meet?
Will they be vegan like Vulcans
Or take beasts to eat like Clingons?
Is the Earth under quarantine
Because were seen as savage demons?

A day may come
When we'll remember
Slaughter of animals as
We now remember the
Horrors of Nazi death camps

How can you pray for peace
With dead earthlings on your plate?
How can you pray for peace
While you partake of
Peaceful creatures being raped
Terrorized and mutilated?

We need to learn skills to survive
In times of crisis to keep oneself alive
But those exceptional times don't legitimize
Eating animals for food all of the time

It's silent outside these walls
There's slaughter inside these walls
